Agapanthus Clusters

This week at Less is More, we're challenged to make a one layer card featuring our favourite flower...hmm...I don't really have a favourite flower in 'real life'...but this 'Agapanthus Clusters' stamp by Stampendous is one of my favourite single flower stamps. I used Distress Inks (Chipped Sapphire, Dusty Concord, Forest Moss & Mown Lawn) and the watercolour technique...painting the inks directly on to the stamp, then spritzing with water before stamping. I doodled a border, then added a sentiment (from the 'Big Messages' set by Paula Pascual).

Super use of a lovely technique - your card looks fab! I can't believe how perfect your hand drawn border looks. Great entry to our one layer flower challenge - thanks so much for playing with us at Less is More :)

I love the definition and vibrant colour that you got with the spritzing technique...I can find that a challenge! Lots of beautiful white space and your doodled border is perfection. Great to see you at Less is More, Helen :)

Wow! Your doodles border is incredible Helen, and that flower is so beautiful the way you watercoloured it. Such a classy and elegant card. Thanks so much for sharing it with us at Less is More.Sharon xx
